Wah , seeing a lot of people's salary here makes mine feel really small at this age

Age: 29
Job Title : Network Admin (despite having an engineer moniker besides i'd still call myself an admin)
Job Desciption : Network Operations
Years spent in company :8 months
Company : MNC
Industry : IT
Tenure : permanent
Employment Level : Executive
Experience before joining : 5 years
salary : RM 5800 + 1 month contractual

benefits: Standard medical , transportation allowance (350) and standby.

Gotta upgrade myself by taking more certs and getting more exposure. Sadly i find the learning opportunities here is quite limited. Thinking of joining a vendor / SI back again since my previous job was so much more interesting. Pay is small tho.

Seen one guy who is already an architect at my age , how did you progress to that post ? Interested in learning.

Doing that. I have passed the CCIE written for R&S. But i really lack the confidence to take the Lab. Current company doesn't seem to want to sponsor so paying USD1500 for the exam along with the airfare/accommodation is quite costly

Still i'll be moving back to a vendor environment once my bond ends so try there then.
